Ten years after the global financial crisis, there’s a growing divide in Europe between economic prospects for the young and old. The IMF looks at why older people fared better in the past decade, and what can be done to help lower youth unemployment and equalize social protection programs.

Tonight we debate about why is it that one by one countries in Europe are adopting or moving closer to the possibility of banning the Islamic veil or the burqa. We've seen it in France, Switzerland, Belgium, and more recently in the Netherlands, a move which coincides with a surge of anti-Muslim sentiment across Europe

Stratfor Economy Analyst Mark Fleming-Williams and Europe Analyst Adriano Bosoni discuss how Europe's crisis has moved from its economy to the political sphere, and identify some future flashpoints.

There was little indignation across the EU when Austria's far right swept 26% of the vote in the parliamentary election on October 15. It seems Europeans are now used to populist rhetoric. In Western Europe, the backlash against multiculturalism is well under way and in central Europe, there’s increasing opposition to the liberal order that Brussels represents. Whatever happens now, Austria's Freedom Party is assured more influence in the debate on migrants, borders and national identity.

Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by surface area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000sqmi) or 2% of the Earth's surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of Europe's approximately 50 countries, Russia is by far the largest by both area and population, taking up 40% of the continent (although the country has territory in both Europe and Asia), while Vatican City is the smallest. Europe is the third-most populous continent after Asia and Africa, with a population of 739–743million or about 11% of the world's population. Europe has a climate heavily affected by warm Atlantic currents, tempering winters and enabling warm summers on most of the continent, even on latitudes that have severe climates in North America and Asia. Further from the Atlantic, seasonal differences increase, but the mildness of the climate remains.

Eastern european girls growing up

TodayLena becomes a teenager. The world around her is full of possibilities. But also risks. See what opportunities and risks Lena and other girls and young women are facing in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and how UNFPA is assisting the countries in the region to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every childbirth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled.

The U.S. Is Growing. Europe Is Slowing

Recent economic data continues to reinforce a simple fact: U.S. economic growth is accelerating and Europe’s is slowing.
ConsiderFrance, where consumer spending slowed recently from 1.7% to 1.2%.
“The U.S.A. is not France,” says Hedgeye CEOKeith McCullough in the video above from a recent edition of The MacroShow. Our call is for U.S. growth to continue accelerating throughout 2017. U.S. GDP numbers just accelerated to 3.1% quarter-over-quarter in the second quarter.
That’s the highest growth since March 2015.
Accelerating growth in Europe? Don’t count on it. As McCullough says, “It’s the damnedest thing, but people on Wall Street, who have never been to France, are convinced that it’s different this time in France. France is going to get older and older in their key spending cohorts and they still have socialists running France.”
Watch the video above for more.

STORYLINE:
European Union leaders expressed confidence on Saturday that they can keep Europe growing despite the global slowdown by sticking to commitments for reforming old economies and promoting new technologies.
Prior to the last meeting of a two day E-U summit, delegates posed for photos and applauded as European Union leaders along with the heads of soccer's governing bodies officially signed the accord on a new soccer transfer system.
The agreement heralds a new era of good relations between the E-U and soccer.
FIFA PresidentSepp Blatter, UEFA chief Lennart Johansson, Swedish Prime MinisterGoeran Persson and European Commission PresidentRomano Prodi signed four soccer balls signifying final agreement between the 15-nation bloc and soccer authorities.
The ceremony took place on the final day of the summit, hosted by Persson, whose country heads the E-U's rotating presidency.
Much of the summit focussed on economic development in Europe, especially in light of the recent downturn in both the American and Japanese economies.
In the draft of a declaration to be adopted at the end of the two-day summit, the 15 leaders insisted Europe can still manage "around 3 percent" growth over the next year or two, even though many private economists have revised their forecasts down to around 2.5 percent.
The declaration acknowledged that poor performance in the United States and Japan translate into a "less supportive" economic environment but maintained the "economic fundamentals in the Union remain strong" and that Europe is "therefore in a position to rely more on its own strength".
Europeans have repeatedly asserted they are in good position to withstand cooling economies elsewhere, noting that more than three quarters of the trade in the 12 countries that share a common currency is with each other.
The E-U leaders stressed that the implementation of reforms, such as fully liberalizing energy markets and streamlining regulations of financial services, was "indispensable" to meet targets for job creation.
Although Europe's average unemployment rate has come down from double-digits to around 8 percent, it remains at twice the U-S level.
They also reaffirmed their desire to catch up to the United States and Japan in high-tech fields like the Internet and biotechnology, both by improving digital skills among Europeans and overcoming the present shortfall in recruiting high-tech talent from abroad.

“The U.S.A. is not France,” says Hedgeye CEOKeith McCullough in the video above from a recent edition of The MacroShow. Our call is for U.S. growth to continue accelerating throughout 2017. U.S. GDP numbers just accelerated to 3.1% quarter-over-quarter in the second quarter.
That’s the highest growth since March 2015.
Accelerating growth in Europe? Don’t count on it. As McCullough says, “It’s the damnedest thing, but people on Wall Street, who have never been to France, are convinced that it’s different this time in France. France is going to get older and older in their key spending co...

There was little indignation across the EU when Austria's far right swept 26% of the vote in the parliamentary election on October 15. It seems Europeans are now used to populist rhetoric. In Western Europe, the backlash against multiculturalism is well under way and in central Europe, there’s increasing opposition to the liberal order that Brussels represents. Whatever happens now, Austria's Freedom Party is assured more influence in the debate on migrants, borders and national identity.

STORYLINE:
European Union leaders expressed confidence on Saturday that they can keep Europe growing despite the global slowdown by sticking to commitments for reforming old economies and promoting new technologies.
Prior to the last meeting of a two day E-U summit, delegates posed for photos and applauded as European Union leaders along with the heads of soccer's governing bodies officially signed the accord on a new soccer transfer system.
The agreement heralds a new era of good relations between the E-U and soccer.
FIFA PresidentSepp Blatter, UEFA chief Lennart Johansson, Swedish Prime MinisterGoeran Persson and European Commission PresidentRomano Prodi signed four soccer balls signifying final agreement between the 15-nation bloc and soccer authorities.
The ceremony took place on the final day of the summit, hosted by Persson, whose country heads the E-U's rotating presidency.
Much of the summit focussed on economic development in Europe, especially in light of the recent downturn in both the American and Japanese economies.
In the draft of a declaration to be adopted at the end of the two-day summit, the 15 leaders insisted Europe can still manage "around 3 percent" growth over the next year or two, even though many private economists have revised their forecasts down to around 2.5 percent.
The declaration acknowledged that poor performance in the United States and Japan translate into a "less supportive" economic environment but maintained the "economic fundamentals in the Union remain strong" and that Europe is "therefore in a position to rely more on its own strength".
Europeans have repeatedly asserted they are in good position to withstand cooling economies elsewhere, noting that more than three quarters of the trade in the 12 countries that share a common currency is with each other.
The E-U leaders stressed that the implementation of reforms, such as fully liberalizing energy markets and streamlining regulations of financial services, was "indispensable" to meet targets for job creation.
Although Europe's average unemployment rate has come down from double-digits to around 8 percent, it remains at twice the U-S level.
They also reaffirmed their desire to catch up to the United States and Japan in high-tech fields like the Internet and biotechnology, both by improving digital skills among Europeans and overcoming the present shortfall in recruiting high-tech talent from abroad.

Growing the European Longevity Economy

The term "demographic dividend" is often used to describe the potential of societies with young populations. But another demographic dividend, one generated by increasing longevity, is opening new markets and opportunities for leaders in business, policy and finance. Europe is home, demographically speaking, to some of the oldest countries in the world. While population aging brings its challenges, a cohort of healthier, wealthier and more active older adults is growing rapidly. As consumers, they offer substantial returns for companies in health, technology, financial services and other industries. As productive workers, they represent an emerging human capital resource for forward thinking employers. This panel will explore the exciting potential of the longevity economy for all interest...

Where does your fruit come from and at what cost? | DW Documentary

Costa Rica is the world’s largest pineapple producer and Germany’s main supplier of the fruit. Cheap labor and pesticides mean low prices in Western Europe.
While organic pineapples are now being farmed on a larger scale to increasing demand, this likewise has negative consequences for Costa Rica’s ecosystem. Tropical fruits such as pineapples, bananas and kiwis have been available in West European supermarkets for years. But the innocent appearance of these popular products is deceptive. The fruits are cheap because costs are cut in the production countries - affecting wages and health factors. Costa Rica is the world’s largest pineapple producer, and is known both for its exemplary ecological approach and for sustainable tourism. It is in this very country, however, where workers on pla...

Till debt do us part: Europe's growing rift over Greece

Subscribe to France 24 now: F24.my/youtubeEN
THE DEBATE : Greece has agreed to take its medicine and it's got a bitter taste indeed. Banks are due to reopen next Monday and a weakened prime minister had to cross the aisle to pass painful reforms. Now that Athens has held up its end of the bargain, the EU has to cough up the cash for both a third bailout and a bridging loan. All this lays bare a growing north-south rift. If tiny Greece can rock Europe to the core, what does it say about the euro and the EU?

If you studied in a Western elementary school, chances are you learned that Europe and Asia are separate continents. But if you studied in a Soviet (or post-Soviet) school, there was likely only Eurasia. Today, the notion of “Eurasia” is highly tainted in Ukraine due to its association with the Russian imperialist ideology of Eurasianism.
But geography teachers might be correct to regard the Europe and Asia as one continent, according to a new book by Bruno Maçães. The former PortugueseEuropeanMinister and a current Senior Advisor at FlintGlobal, Maçães believes that the distinction between Europe and Asia is slowly dissolving, which significant consequences for the global politics and economics.

Till debt do us part: Europe's growing rift over Greece (part 1)

Subscribe to France 24 now: F24.my/youtubeEN
THE DEBATE : Greece has agreed to take its medicine and it's got a bitter taste indeed. Banks are due to reopen next Monday, and a weakened prime minister had to cross the aisle to pass painful reforms. Now that Athens has held up its end of the bargain, the EU has to cough up the cash for both a third bailout and a bridging loan. This all lays bare a growing north-south rift. If tiny Greece can rock Europe, what does it say about the euro and the EU?

Germany’s growing Coptic Church | Faith Matters

Anba Damian may be the head of the Coptic Church in Germany - but the bishop is remarkably down-to-earth. Despite the many challenges of his job, he still finds time for a game of football. His seat is in a former Cistercian monastery in western Germany.

Costa Rica is the world’s largest pineapple producer and Germany’s main supplier of the fruit. Cheap labor and pesticides mean low prices in Western Europe.
While organic pineapples are now being farmed on a larger scale to increasing demand, this likewise has negative consequences for Costa Rica’s ecosystem. Tropical fruits such as pineapples, bananas and kiwis have been available in West European supermarkets for years. But the innocent appearance of these popular products is deceptive. The fruits are cheap because costs are cut in the production countries - affecting wages and health factors. Costa Rica is the world’s largest pineapple producer, and is known both for its exemplary ecological approach and for sustainable tourism. It is in this very country, however, where workers on plantations complain about a lack of rights. Pineapples are grown and harvested here in vast monoculture plantations using huge amounts of pesticides. According to studies conducted by Costa Rica’s national university, the country is not just a major tropical fruit exporter but also the world’s biggest per-hectare user of pesticides. Plantation workers have as a result been reporting rashes and headaches. At the heart of pineapple farming, to the northeast of the capital of San José, trucks regularly have to supply villages with clean drinking water because the groundwater has been contaminated with bromacil - a weed killer banned in the EU. In the north of the country huge pineapple plantations are threatening the livelihoods of traditional small farmers, while conventional banana plantations continue to grow across the southwest. Many supermarkets in Europe have recognized that they can make money with sustainability. Almost all the major chains have signed up to ecological quality seals that stand for responsible growing methods with low pesticide use. The example of Costa Rica, however, shows that such promises aren’t always strictly kept. Although there are farmers who have set up their own businesses with the new growing methods, and although the organic sector in Costa Rica is constantly growing, even organic bananas and pineapples require large areas of land for farming. The result is monocultures with consequences for the ecosystem.

If you studied in a Western elementary school, chances are you learned that Europe and Asia are separate continents. But if you studied in a Soviet (or post-Soviet) school, there was likely only Eurasia. Today, the notion of “Eurasia” is highly tainted in Ukraine due to its association with the Russian imperialist ideology of Eurasianism.
But geography teachers might be correct to regard the Europe and Asia as one continent, according to a new book by Bruno Maçães. The former PortugueseEuropeanMinister and a current Senior Advisor at FlintGlobal, Maçães believes that the distinction between Europe and Asia is slowly dissolving, which significant consequences for the global politics and economics.
With Western and European dominance in decline and many Europeans starting to take note of the threats emanating from Russia and China, recognizing this shift is more important than ever — and particularly for Ukraine, Maçães says.
“I think this is interesting and important for Ukraine because Ukraine is a country on the gates of Europe, as people say, and, I think in a world where people are truly reconciled, Ukraine no longer has to feel on the border, on the periphery, it can be at the center,” Maçães told Hromadske.
For Ukraine, the choice between East and West is clear. Since the 2014 Euromaidan revolution, which saw people take to the streets in favour of closer integration with the West, Ukraine has reaffirmed its European ambitions and sought to weaken its ties with Russia.
Looking towards the future, however, even Ukraine may have to rethink aspects of its alignment. For now, Russia and China appear to be allied against Western dominance, but Maçães believes that this could change.
“Countries like Kazakhstan and Georgia, they feel a certain danger coming from Russia and they use China to balance. And, eventually, I suspect that Ukraine will also find this an attractive idea. It's a way to block Russian power, to bring in Chinese investment, for example,” Maçães says.
Hromadske sat down with Bruno Maçães to discuss the growing importance of Eurasia, shifting power balances, and what this means for Europe’s borders.

The Growing Generation Gap in Europe

Ten years after the global financial crisis, there’s a growing divide in Europe between economic prospects for the young and old. The IMF looks at why older people fared better in the past decade, and what can be done to help lower youth unemployment and equalize social protection programs.

Europe's growing intolerance

Tonight we debate about why is it that one by one countries in Europe are adopting or moving closer to the possibility of banning the Islamic veil or the burqa. We've seen it in France, Switzerland, Belgium, and more recently in the Netherlands, a move which coincides with a surge of anti-Muslim sentiment across Europe

There was little indignation across the EU when Austria's far right swept 26% of the vote in the parliamentary election on October 15. It seems Europeans are now used to populist rhetoric. In Western Europe, the backlash against multiculturalism is well under way and in central Europe, there’s increasing opposition to the liberal order that Brussels represents. Whatever happens now, Austria's Freedom Party is assured more influence in the debate on migrants, borders and national identity.

Europe is the world's second-smallest continent by surface area, covering about 10,180,000 square kilometres (3,930,000sqmi) or 2% of the Earth's surface and about 6.8% of its land area. Of Europe's approximately 50 countries, Russia is by far the largest by both area and population, taking up 40% of the continent (although the country has territory in both Europe and Asia), while Vatican City is the smallest. Europe is the third-most populous continent after Asia and Africa, with a population of 739–743million or about 11% of the world's population. Europe has a climate heavily affected by warm Atlantic currents, tempering winters and enabling warm summers on most of the continent, even on latitudes that have severe climates in North America and Asia.

Where does your fruit come from and at what cost? | DW Documentary

Costa Rica is the world’s largest pineapple producer and Germany’s main supplier of the fruit. Cheap labor and pesticides mean low prices in Western Europe.
While organic pineapples are now being farmed on a larger scale to increasing demand, this likewise has negative consequences for Costa Rica’s ecosystem. Tropical fruits such as pineapples, bananas and kiwis have been available in West European supermarkets for years. But the innocent appearance of these popular products is deceptive. The fruits are cheap because costs are cut in the production countries - affecting wages and health factors. Costa Rica is the world’s largest pineapple producer, and is known both for its exemplary ecological approach and for sustainable tourism. It is in this very country, however, where workers on plantations complain about a lack of rights. Pineapples are grown and harvested here in vast monoculture plantations using huge amounts of pesticides. According to studies conducted by Costa Rica’s national university, the country is not just a major tropical fruit exporter but also the world’s biggest per-hectare user of pesticides. Plantation workers have as a result been reporting rashes and headaches. At the heart of pineapple farming, to the northeast of the capital of San José, trucks regularly have to supply villages with clean drinking water because the groundwater has been contaminated with bromacil - a weed killer banned in the EU. In the north of the country huge pineapple plantations are threatening the livelihoods of traditional small farmers, while conventional banana plantations continue to grow across the southwest. Many supermarkets in Europe have recognized that they can make money with sustainability. Almost all the major chains have signed up to ecological quality seals that stand for responsible growing methods with low pesticide use. The example of Costa Rica, however, shows that such promises aren’t always strictly kept. Although there are farmers who have set up their own businesses with the new growing methods, and although the organic sector in Costa Rica is constantly growing, even organic bananas and pineapples require large areas of land for farming. The result is monocultures with consequences for the ecosystem.
